The levers 6, 6 are provided according to Fig. 5 with a bend 12, with which they can strike againstthe adjusters 13, 13 which are likewise constructed as double armed levers. The registering levers 18 13 are located on bars 14- the number of which corresponds to the number of strips 7 and which, together with the frame 15, 16 can be moved in the direction of the arrow at, Fig. 2. The positioned registering levers 13 may for example take with them movement devices 30, 31 (Fig. 6) for mag azines 32 or push bars The registering levers 13 13 are supported upon continuous or discontinuous rods 17. For the purpose of holding the levers (3 and 6. as

Well as the levers 13 and 13 springs 18 (Fig. 5) are provided. The carriage 5 runs upon rollers 19 and is held in its longitudinal direction by a. roller 20. 21, 21 are plates provided on both sides of the machine, in the oblique slots 22 of which engage pins 23 on the frame 8, 9. These slots extend obliquely upwards and downwards and can therefore bring about the movement of one frame 8, 9 upwards and of another corre sponding frame downwards. 24 is a plate with slots 25, which can bring about the release of the positioned levers 6. The slots 25 are such that when the releasing plate moves in the direction of the arrow Z), Fig. 1, they bring about a transference of the levers 6 into the position corresponding to the levers 6*, while they are so long that they render possible a return movement of the releasing plate into the position of Fig ure 1, without the levers 6 6 taking part in this return movement. 26 (Fig. 1) is a group of teeth on one of the plates 21 which co-operates with a toothed wheel 27 which is movable from the motor drive and thereby brings about the movement of the frames with the levers 6, 6". The movement of the frames 7, 8, 9, with their provisionally adjusted registering levers 6 out of the position of Figure 1 into the position of Figure 2 and the return movement of this frame into the position according to Figure 1 with simultaneous release of the preparatory registrations may be effected instantaneously after starting the drive, so that after the starting of the motor the typist can go on writing immediately. For example, one line may lie ready for printing on the table 34, a second may be simultane ously registered by the levers 13 and 13 while the typist is actuating the keys for a third line and bringing it to the preparatory registering levers 6, 6".
